“Moral authority comes from following universal and timeless principles like honesty, integrity, and treating people with respect.”
Without a doubt, Abdulsamad Rabiu, Chairman, BUA Group, is a strong believer in this immortal quote by Stephen Covey, an American author, businessman and keynote speaker.
For Abdulsamad, who is an authority in the Nigerian business sector, his word is his bond, and he wears integrity like a badge of honour. He is a businessman that does his business with a human face and will never jeopardise his rectitude for anything.
So, when the unsubstantiated rumour of his alleged involvement in illicit forex went viral, those familiar with him quickly dismissed the allegation as wicked lies by evil people.
It was alleged that his company engaged in illicit forex dealings with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from January to March 2016. But many of his fans knew it was an attempt to blot his hard-earned reputation.
They were right after all, as the investigation has revealed that it is the handiwork of his enemies. To further prove that the allegation was baseless, BUA published all forex transactions by banks during 2016, in all national newspapers.
A careful study of the 63-year-old consummate businessman’s life shows that he has always been driven, in his inspirational journey in life, by determination and clear vision. No wonder, his business, over the years, has been sustained on the tripod of uncommon brilliance, strategic planning and faithfulness to the vision and mission of the company.
